Writing exercise

Write about your favorite decorating style.

My favorite decorating style is farmhouse style and combine a little Modern minimalist style, or someone calls it or Japanese pastoral style but has Nordic element.
Before I bought my own house, my idea style influenced by popular trend so I preferred the Nordic style, like IKEA. Many young people like the style, due to the cheap furniture and decorations.

Because I am Taiwanese, I also influenced by Japanese culture. When I was a child, I lived with my grandparents in Japanese house. My grandfather was a doctor , who educated in Japan school. The doctor was a modern job in that era, so the house style mix many retro- style furniture and clinic equipment. Born with this family, the Japanese house is occupied my childhood memories, so I thought it may be the reason that I prefer.

But in fact, when I bought my own house, I found that the decorating style has to cooperate with the environment. My house located in a resort style garden, and the district surrounded with lakes, so many people live in the district prefer country style.
Former homeowner is a Macanese, who bought the house just for vacation with family, so the former style was country style. But the decorations were out of fashion, I changed some decorations, like murals and floor. That made my own house is Japanese country style now.
